Thomas Jefferson Pardieu was born to, Ranson Pardieu & his wife, Elizabeth [Hubbard] Pardieu on, 28 March 1858, in Elkhorn, Ray County, Missouri. Sometime around 1878 he married, Mary Elizabeth Bush. Together this couple would share at least one known child. Thomas Jefferson Pardieu is a great maternal grandfather to my sisters, Kay Linda & Karen Sue. Kind of funny, as when we were kids all growing up, we had a French poodle for a pet. He was a great dog, with a horrible temper. Because he was French, my dad named him, Ranson Pardieu. We called him Pardi. Okay, so it's not such a funny story, but it always brings a smile to my face to remember such things. That dog was a hoot & my dad a classic.
